remembrance poem

My dad died 5 years ago this year and we are having a christening for DD this year. The church have asked if we'd like to have a poem read out in remembrance. I am keen on the idea but struggling to find something suitable. I don't want something terribly morbid as it's not quite the right tone but obviously I don't want anything hugely upbeat either. So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

I think this is a lovely poem for remembrance - I love the idea that the 'singing will never be done':

Everyone SangBy Siegfried Sassoon

Everyone suddenly burst out singing;And I was filled with such delightAs prisoned birds must find in freedom,Winging wildly across the whiteOrchards and dark-green fields; on - on - and out of sight.

Everyone's voice was suddenly lifted;And beauty came like the setting sun:My heart was shaken with tears; and horrorDrifted away ... O, but EveryoneWas a bird; and the song was wordless; the singing will never be done.

We Remember Him - From The Yizkor Service - Adapted - A Non Religious Funeral Reading

When we are weary and in need of strength,When we are lost and sick at heart,We remember him.When we have a joy we crave to shareWhen we have decisions that are difficult to makeWhen we have achievements that are based on hisWe remember him.At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winterAt the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring,We remember him.At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summerAt the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn,We remember him.At the rising of the sun and at its setting,We remember him.As long as we live, he too will liveFor he is now a part of us,As we remember him.

And if I go, while you're still here.....know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure, behind a thin vale, you cannot see through. You will not see me, so you must have faith,I wait for you for the time when we can soar together again,both aware of each other until then, live your life to the fullestand when you need me just whisper my name in your heartI will be there.
